Spill Kits

Bag, drum, wheeled and truck spill kits

The format of a kit follows the place it covers and the size of spill it has to deal with, and the fluid it absorbs is a separate choice made in the next section.

Portable bag kits and tray kits

Bag kits are the smallest and most portable format, packed in a flap bag or shoulder bag that a crew carries to the spill or hangs on a wall or in a cab. They suit mobile crews, small equipment and the drips and splashes of daily refueling and maintenance. Tray versions add a rigid drip tray or a flexible tray that goes under a leaking machine, a drum being decanted or a hose coupling, so the kit catches fluid while the cleanup is under way.

Drum spill kits

Our drum spill kits are static stations, with the absorbents stored in a drum that stays at one fixed point such as a refueling area, a fuel store or a shop floor. A drum holds a larger stock of absorbents than most bag kits and suits a permanent risk point where the same fluids are handled every day.

Wheeled container spill kits

Wheeled container kits pack the absorbents into a wheeled bin that one person can roll to the spill across a yard, a warehouse floor or a paved laydown area. Sizes run from the 31 gallon wheeled spill kit up to 95 gallons, and the larger containers suit equipment yards where several machines refuel and are serviced in one place.

High capacity and high volume spill kits

High capacity spill kits are large spill stations for the places with the highest spill risk, such as chemical plants, warehouses, bulk fuel and chemical stores and large jobsites. High volume kits, in universal, oil and fuel and chemical versions, put a larger stock of absorbent in one kit for industrial areas where the same fluid is handled routinely.

Truck and forklift spill kits

Vehicle kits ride with the machine in a compact bag that stows behind a seat or on a forklift. The truck spill kits are oil and fuel kits for engine oil, hydraulic oil and diesel leaks from service trucks, fuel trucks and heavy equipment working away from the main yard. In warehouses and factories, forklift spill kits take paint, fluids and milder chemicals. For forklifts that move drums of acids and solvents, choose the chemical spill kit for forklifts.

Drip tray kits for small machinery and fuel tanks

SpillTector drip tray kits sit under small machinery, generators, pumps and fuel tanks and catch oil, fuel or DEF before it reaches the ground. The sorbent pad in the tray holds the contamination while clean rainwater drains away, so the tray does not fill and overflow in wet weather the way an open tray can.

Where spill kits should be located on a jobsite

A kit belongs within a short walk of each point where fluid is stored, transferred or likely to leak, holding the sorbent for the fluid at that point.

Refueling points and fuel storage

At the refueling point, spills come from overfills, nozzle drips and leaking hose fittings. A drum kit or wheeled container with an oil and fuel sorbent stays at the fuel tank or fuel trailer, with a drip tray kit under the tank outlet.

Heavy equipment and generators

Excavators, loaders and other heavy equipment leak hydraulic oil from hoses and fittings at the work face, often far from the fuel point. Truck and forklift kits ride on the service truck or the machine, and parked generators, light towers and pumps sit on a drip tray or absorbent mat so a slow overnight leak is caught before it reaches the soil.

Storm drains and inlets

Storm drains carry whatever enters them to a creek or river, often without treatment, so every inlet within reach of a spill point needs a drain cover stored beside it. Covering the nearest drain is the first step of any spill response, before the socks go down and the cleanup starts.

Workshops and maintenance bays

Shop floors see a mix of fluids, from engine oil and coolant to brake fluid and parts washer solvent. A universal kit in a drum or wheeled container covers that mix indoors, placed by the door so it can be reached without crossing the spill.

Chemical and DEF storage

Stores of acids, solvents, batteries and DEF take a chemical kit or DEF kit matched to what is on the shelves, kept outside the entrance so it can be reached if the store itself is where the spill is. Where the store holds large quantities, a high capacity station sits here, and drums and IBCs stand on secondary containment from our drum and IBC containment range.

Spill kit refills and spill containment accessories

The accessories divide into refills that restore a kit after use and equipment that keeps fluid away from drains and soil before a kit is needed.

Refill packs

Spill kit refill packs replace the pads and socks used from a kit, so a bag, drum or wheeled container goes back to full capacity without buying the container again. They are made for general purpose, oil and fuel, chemical and DEF kits, matched to each kit format.

Drain covers

Heavyweight drain covers are thick mats laid over a storm inlet during fuel transfer, offloading or chemical handling, with a version in a mountable storage bag that keeps the cover beside the drain it protects.

Absorbent mats

Absorbent equipment mats go under parked machinery to catch oil and fuel leaks while letting rainwater escape. Solidifying spill mats have polymer layers that turn oil and fuel solid as it lands, so a leak cannot run off the mat.

Containment berms and berm strips

Spill containment berms are portable PVC basins, resistant to chemicals and UV, for holding oil, fuel, chemicals and contaminated water. To build a low curb on a hard floor, berm strips of crush-resistant foam keep their shape when driven over and close off areas around trucks, tanks, drums and loading docks.

Land booms and detection strips

The spill land boom is filled with water and laid across open ground to hold a spill back. Hydrocarbon detection strips turn dark blue when oil or fuel is present in water, a quick check before water collected in a berm or excavation is pumped off site.
